Let's not get paranoid about this.
Never reply to an email for personal information(password, phone, name, ...) This is when you need to find the real number and call.
In this case the poster obviously already has your email so there is no danger in just clicking on the link. Worse case he spammed a bunch of people and you just confirmed that your email is active.
There is the small threat of viruses from webpages exploits but if you keep your software updated and don't run stuff from the webpage you should be fine. Also any good browser will show you the real domain name in the address bar on top to confirm where you are.
